The fight tonight was over about $25 billion. Thats about 2.5% of the Defense budget. Would cover a year of the enhanced ACA credits. Republicans said that’s unaffordable.

Narrative 1: China is dumping cheap solar panels onto the world by unfairly subsidizing its solar industry.
Narrative 2: US, Russia, Saudi are dumping cheap oil and gas onto the world by unfairly subsidizing production and transport.
Both can be defended with facts. Which one do you hear more?

Republicans finally found a way to bring down costs. All it took was magically declaring expensive things to be free.
At least, that’s the lesson of OBBB, whose Senate passage today required reinventing the laws of accounting.

Sorry small correction - the solar/wind excise tax is out. No word yet on phase-outs of existing credits.
Another flagged by Sarah Ferris of CNN: the excise tax on wind and solar projects is OUT of the wraparound amendment.
We're starting to get details on the wraparound amendment now - the official leadership endorsed rewrite of the bill.
One flagged by CNN: they're doubling the size of the rural hospital fund to $50 billion. Which sounds like a lot! Except there's gonna be $119 billion in cuts to rural hospitals.

It's an "impossible bind" where the U.S. companies working the *hardest* to onshore supply chains are penalized the *most*. Their tech will end up right back in China.
